Visual studio and .NET tip 7:- Drag and drop code from tool box

As a developer you always need some common codes again and again. Rather than writing
those common codes from scratch you would like to get them easily from some handy
place.
For instance when using ADO.NET you always need to write code for opening the connection
objects and closing them. So rather than writing this code again and again if
you can get them from some common place life would be much easy.

For a developer the handiest place is the tool box and the good news is you can select
the code and pin in it on to the tool box. When needed you can select the code
from tool box and drag them on to your coding area.

You can also better organize your code by creating tabs on the toolbox for better
management as shown in the below figure.
